Would you rather forget all about the disaster that was Transformers, Revenge of the Fallen? Me too. As a new recruit of the Culch team I would like to bring back the happier memories of the first movie. It was a simpler time, a happier time and an easier to follow time. Director - Michael “Blow the world up, watch them burn” Bay Executive Producer - Stephen “The powers of my genius are in my beard” Speilberg Cast - Fuck head Megan Foxy White stereotypical hero soldier Black stereotypical “Say what?” soldier Latin stereotypical says everything in Spanish soldier Ginger soldier, there’s always one Bernie Mac’s ghost Inspector Ned Kenny from “The General” Some hot Australian chick One of Jim Carrey’s black sons from “Me, Myself and Irene”, except he’s lost a lot of weight Original Optimus Prime Jesus from The Big Lebowski Shit load of army dudes Shit load … There’s more →

Transformers 2: Fun but Dumb

Pure and simple, Transformers 2 is a CGI/SFX wet dream. I probably exclaimed “Cool!” about 10 times throughout (there’s this one scene with an aircraft carrier that is simply droolworthy!) What can I say, I just love special effects. I also grew up watching cartoons like Transformers and this in itself changes how you relate to it. It appeals to my inner child and the tomboy within. Most of this movie is like watching a fireworks display, you will “Oooh” and “Ahhh” – but don’t forget to switch your brain off and let it be dazzled by the shiny things.

Being a huge fan of the 2007′s Transformers I can honestly say without hesitation that Transformers 2 is the worst movie I have ever seen. It’s two and a half hours of my life I am never going to get back. Now I know that this won’t dissuade ardent fans from going to see the film but don’t say you weren’t warned.

Well hello fellow movie buffs, as Star Trek, Wolverine, Terminator Salvation, Transformers, Harry Potter and Angels & Demons all edge closer to our screens, it’s worth remembering that there are other things going on in the world of film: Arnold Schwarzenegger has been talking about his cameo in the new Terminator movie. It seems he agreed to do it as long as the technology was right and he didn’t have to perform. He’s a busy man these days. Anyway, I’m interested to see John Connor’s reaction when he sets eyes on Arnie’s T-800 or the first time in many years. Wolverine’s Hugh Jackman has been immortalised in stone. Well his hands have at least: he has left his his hand and foot prints into cement outside the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. Oh, and there is a new Wolverine trailer now available. I don’ see much different in this … There’s more →
